Why do we take them back?
Why do we cut them so much slack?
We talk all that smack, make them pack...
Only just to take them back.
We overlook the way they act, all reason, and obvious facts...
Taking them back...and back...and back.
Is it because of the esteem and confidence we lack?
We are worth more--didn't anyone ever teach us that?
Maybe if we believed it we wouldn't feel as though we needed them back.
Even when we don't want them back...
They find their way back...
Because we let them back...
So instead of moving forward, we're moving back.
Until this endless circle to us becomes whack...and something within us finally cracks...
Hopefully we'll come to our senses before our lives end and we fade to black.

Very powerful poem. I've been in that very position more than once in my past. Thankfully, I've learned to keep the door closed. Praise God!
Don't be so hard on us. LOL. And don't think that, as men, we don't go through the same thing with women who have shown how they are not good for us.
Why is that?
